Since we are living in a very confusing time in history, and since there’s been a huge increase in people suffering from depression and even suicide, I’m listening to a series of sermons given back in the 1950s by one of my favorite preachers of all time, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Dr. Lloyd-Jones was born in…
I’ve started and deleted this post multiple times. I have so many thoughts on it and experiences with it that it’s overwhelming to try to nail it down to a blog post. But I had to start here, because you will see this is a theme in my life right now and will be a…
Here’s how my July bullet journal filled up… The “What I Did This Month” page ended up not working because I was kind of already reviewing my day on the “memories” page for this month. So for August, that’ll be gone. And the “one line reading reflection” was a great idea, but I’m still learning…
Last year was a great year for a lot of us. Being locked down in 2020 revived a lot of long put aside hobbies and unused skills. We put a wonderful garden in and got some perfect compost from a nearby horse boarding stable. And the garden did amazingly well. So this year, we were…
UPDATE 4 YEARS LATER: I still have my gospel notebook, and from time to time I add to it. (Especially when I am reading through an epistle!) I use it many different ways: When I need encouragement, I read through the “I am” or the “Christ did” sections. When I am in a rut in…
UPDATE 3 YEARS LATER: I’m still off of Instagram and Facebook completely. It was rough at first, but man, it’s been incredibly freeing too. I don’t know the latest happenings with all my friends, and I don’t get the photos and updates and miss that, but it gives me something to talk about with my…
UPDATE 6 YEARS LATER: This is the only short story I have ever printed off and kept. I try to re-read at least once a year (and will be pulling it out today to re-read in the hammock). I love everything about the story and how you and the main character go from feeling hopeless…
UPDATE 6 YEARS LATER: It was fun looking through Rachel’s journal again and seeing what she gained from her time working through the Journal and Doodle through Ephesians Bible study! Her story echoes what my prayer for this blog is, that God’s daughters will hear from Him and internalize His truths into their lives! To…
UPDATE 6 YEARS LATER: For some reason a quick sketch I did one morning was super popular on Pinterest. I sketched some quick and messy notes trying to think of different ways to interact with Scripture and then put a photo up on my blog. It has helped a lot of people interact with Scripture,…
UPDATE 9 YEARS LATER: I started this Bible project on May 3, 2012 and finished summarizing every page on March 25, 2015. There were no great speed records set, I mean it took me three years to read through the entire Bible! But I discovered that reading at a slow pace, and thinking about what…
